Business Hotels & Resorts in East Coast from NZ$267

"Everything was above par. The only issue was a water problem which was quickly taken care of. There was so much hosptality that made u realize how much we'd like to come back again with friends."

"Loved our swim up room. Room was cleaned daily and always felt clean. Food was just ok, nothing special but we all found something to eat."

"The two pools and the beach were AMAZING! My biggest complaint is that there are signs posted all over that you are not allowed to reserve chairs but everyone does it anyway. We watched people reserve chairs on both the beach and at the pool and didn't use one of the sets all day. The property was always clean and most staff are friendly. The food was ok. We preferred the buffet and room service food over the restaurants. Getting in to one the of restaurants to eat takes some time to understand. They say you only need reservations for 3 of them but they take names down on a list on a first come, first serve basis. All of the higher end alcohol was an extra charge. This included Malibu (which I would argue is not high end, just name brand)!!! I will say they really push and accommodate their "privileged" guests. Anyone can be privileged, it is just going to cost you more money. This was a little of a turnoff just because we paid ALOT of money for this vacation with our airfare and it felt a little off putting. "

"It was great until the last day when I believe I had bed bugs and woke up with bites everywhere "

"Well kept property, great staff!"

"If you’re traveling with kids, this resort can be quite challenging due to its enormous size. They do provide caddies to help guests get around, which is helpful. Unfortunately, most of the beaches were closed during our stay, and it was very difficult to find a quiet outdoor space without loud music playing everywhere. The staff’s service seems heavily influenced by tips. If they realize you’re not purchasing any packages or extras, their interest in helping with your needs or ensuring your satisfaction drops significantly. The concierge encourages you to text them 24/7, but in reality, those messages often go unanswered unless you’re buying something. Service overall felt slow, and many staff members appeared undertrained and barely spoke English. On the positive side, the waterpark was great, the food was decent, and the Brazilian steakhouse was excellent for a Dominican resort. However, making reservations at the two restaurants that required them proved nearly impossible. Overall, the resort feels poorly managed."

"This was a great resort with gave us a lot of value for what we paid. For a family of 5, (3 teens 13,13, & 15), my wife and I and the kids had a great time. The staff is top notch with exceptional customer service. They are very hard workers and will meet your needs to help you with a simple request for a drink or helping you find your way. The rooms were very clean and very nice. We even had a little jacuzzi on the back patio. Our concierge was also a great help and helped us figure out little gifts for our family and making a reservation for Spice (overrated IMO). Save yourself the hassle and skip it. My wife and I also sat through the 1.5 hr presentation that they offered upon arrival and stuck to our "No" at the end to end up with "leisure cash" that we applied to the spa to get a couples massage. All in all, my kids loved the beach, endless supply of food and virgin drinks (pina coladas), pool with 4 slides ("splash zone"). We didn't pay extra for any excursions and felt like we still got our money's worth. There are always hourly activities going on and shows at the theater at night. I would recommend this hotel to family and friends. "

"The Family suite was tiny and worn out so was The family suite that my brother‘s family got. My son, however, took a suite with a king size bed, which was definitely more up-to-date. The grout in the shower tiles was dirty and missing. The resort has signs on the toilet not to put toilet paper in it. That’s a hard habit to break when you’re an American that is used to flushing toilet paper down your toilet bowl. My kids clogged the bowl twice in the first day with minimal toilet paper and the resort took more than five hours to fix that. The smell lasted until the next day. It was great, I’ll. On the fifth day they clogged it a third time with just plain urine, amazing. The food and service in the à la carte restaurants was pitiful. They are not trained how to wait tables. They were handing us plates to pass around the table. In the Italian restaurant, they only allow you to order one appetizer and one main course. You have to choose between pasta or meat or fish. It was very limiting and at the end it wasn’t even worth the time waiting. We developed a system where wekept our restaurant reservations (which were almost impossible to make since there was no availability, even though when you get to the restaurants, there’s barely anyone in there), but would go to the buffet before dinner because we knew that the sitdown restaurant was probably going to suck and we were right every time. If you’re on a very tight budget, there is a value here but we will not be returning"

"clean room, excellent staff"
